Trivia

Since 2011, an educational program, with a focus on sustainability, was added to the program, called VESTROCK UNIVERSITY. Scientists and prominent speakers give lectures on sustainability, climate change and topical themes as the silent disco concept. VESTROCK UNIVERSITY was made possible by the support of Ghent, Duvel and DELTA Zealand fund.

Since 2012, the festival was expanded to include a festival for children under the name VESTROCK JUNIOR. On this day no alcoholic beverages are allowed.

Each year, hundreds of volunteers have helped make VESTROCK possible.

In 2013, CLUB ACOUSTIC, an intimate acoustic stage for singer-songwriters, was added to the festival.

In 2014, a 3rd festival and a festival site was added. The unique specialty VEST ROCK BLOND ROCK VEST was presented which was the first Dutch Festival with its own specialty!

In 2015, CLUB ACOUSTIC was replaced by THE LIVING, a small, cozy "living room" stage. In St. Willibrordusbasiliek a new 5th stage was achieved with only acoustic performances in an intimate setting.

In 2016, THE LIVING was replaced by THE CHAPEL, a fabulous, wooden building with more space.
